A fortune underground? Hundreds of citizens talk to experts about natural gas reserves under Sanford By CHELSEA KELLNER kellner@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — As former geologists, Sanford couple Keith and Julie Merritt knew to be cautious when they received a letter promising rent and royalties for access to natural gas

that may lie beneath their 86 acres of Lee County farmland. “Oil and natural gas production is a very expensive and uncertain proposition,” Julie Merritt said. “People hear oil and gas drilling, and start thinking huge money, but it doesn’t always pan out.”

The Merritts were among 250 people who flocked to McSwain Extension Center Wednesday evening for information on how to deal with the discovery of natural gas under local land that has brought drilling companies flocking to the area. Lee County Exten-

sion Director Susan Condlin said the event is one of the Extension’s best-attended in recent years, thanks to the lure of cash coupled with the tricky legal issues involved in oil and natural gas drilling.

FROM THE SOLE Sanford woman a driving force in Raleigh-based organization that collects shoes for the needy By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — People’s closets are full of them — sneakers, dress shoes, flip flops. Some people wear their favorite pairs daily and leave the rest of their footwear in the back of the closet without a second thought. But others don’t have that luxury. When Jennifer Pierce traveled to Haiti after it was devastated by January’s earthquake, she was shocked

to see people walking around wearing shoes they pieced together out of plastic and string. “A lot of people don’t realize that there are a lot

of people out there without shoes, period,” Pierce said. When Pierce realized it, she founded Share Our Shoes, a Raleigh-based organization that gathers new or gently used shoes and gives them to people in need. “Basically it’s a way for people to give and not have to reach in their wallets,” Pierce said. Since the organization began in 2008, first as Shoes-

SANFORD — As state legislators inch toward a final budget decision in Raleigh, local school officials are taking steps to protect Lee County classrooms. At stake is how the North Carolina General Assembly will choose to allocate scarce funds during a statewide budget crunch. Superintendent Jeff Moss met with Sen. Bob Atwater (DChatham) last week to discuss the importance of adequate funding for K-12 education. While Atwater was “tightlipped” about the current budget process, Moss called himself concerned but still optimistic. “We understand the economic situation in the state, but believe we’ve taken the brunt of most of the cuts over the past few years,” Moss said. “I know the universities are yelling at the top of their lungs right now, but we’ve cut to the bone, and additional cuts will end up cutting out necessary services to the classroom.”

Late Tuesday storms leave damage By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

were able to get out of the house safely, and no one was injured. “They had just finished dinner, and the mother just happened to look outside,” said Abby Cameron, community services coordinator for the Lee and Chatham County office of

Almanac Today is Thursday, June 17, the 168th day of 2010. There are 197 days left in the year. This day in history: On June 17, 1775, the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill took place near Boston. The battle (which actually occurred on Breed’s Hill) was a costly victory for the British, who suffered heavy losses while dislodging the rebels. In 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor aboard the French ship Isere. In 1928, Amelia Earhart embarked on a trans-Atlantic flight from Newfoundland to Wales with pilots Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon, becoming the first woman to make the trip as a passenger. In 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which boosted U.S. tariffs to historically high levels, prompting foreign retaliation. In 1940, France asked Germany for terms of surrender in World War II. In 1944, the republic of Iceland was established. In 1957, mob underboss Frank Scalice was shot to death at a produce market in the Bronx, N.Y. In 1961, Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West while his troupe was in Paris. In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon’s eventual downfall began with the arrest of five burglars inside Democratic national headquarters in Washington D.C.’s Watergate complex.

Toll road idea gains traction for I-95

Illegal immigrants charged in drug bust

FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina leaders are seriously considering whether to install toll booths on Interstate 95, the state transportation secretary said Tuesday. Tolls would be used to pay for improvements on the interstate, which needs $5 billion in upgrades and expansions over the next 20 years, said Secretary Gene Conti during a visit to Fayetteville. The state has â&#x20AC;&#x153;no real wayâ&#x20AC;? to fund the construction, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at tolling 95. We want to do it in a sensible way,â&#x20AC;? Conti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to do it in a way that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow traffic down or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create a lot of local hardship.â&#x20AC;? The state is studying I-95â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and how to pay for them, said Transportation Department spokesman Ted Vaden. The results are due in spring 2011. If approved, tolls could be in place as soon as 2012, Vaden said. Interstate 95 is the major northsouth highway on the East Coast, ferrying people and goods from the Canadian border in Maine to Miami, Fla. Toll road sections are common north of Washington. North Carolina has 182 miles of I-95. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest section runs from Fayetteville to Benson, Conti said, which is about 25 miles. That stretch likely would be tolled first, Conti said. The state would look

PITTSBORO (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When a single mother of a pre-teen son first contacted Chatham Habitat for Humanity six years ago, her goal was to create a solid foundation for her family, and she was committed to making it happen. She partnered with Chatham Habitat, contributing 350 hours toward the construction of her home and completing courses that prepared her for successful homeownership. She then purchased her home with a 0 percent mortgage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Becoming a homeowner changed my life,â&#x20AC;? she said. Now she is married, the mother of another child (a 4-year-old daughter), and is employed by the University of North Carolina. Her mortgage payment is less than what she would be paying for rent. Chatham Habitat is reaching out to other families in Chatham County who dream of owning their own homes. A Homeownership Fair is set for June 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. at First Missionary Baptist Church at 914 Martin Luther King Blvd. in Siler City. Staff members will be on hand to provide information and answer questions. Dinner and door prizes will be provided. The event is free. Chatham Habitat considers applicants without regard to their race, religion, gender, handicap, familial status or national origin.

at using electronic means of billing drivers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; similar to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in some communities with toll roads â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to limit congestion from toll booths. In some places, drivers can enroll in a program where they maintain an account for tolls. A booth reads censors on their cars as they pass, allowing them to drive through without stopping and deducting directly from the account. Tolls not new idea Most of I-95 in North Carolina is limited to two lanes in each direction. In 2008, The Fayetteville Observer examined accident statistics and found that people traveling on I-95 were more than twice as likely to die in a wreck than travelers on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other interstate highways. Travel organization AAA Carolinas at the time said it was North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst-maintained interstate. State Sen. Larry Shaw of Fayetteville has long advocated for toll booths on I-95 to pay for improvements, such as widening it to eight total lanes, but his ideas have gotten little traction. Former Gov. Mike Easley, who served from 2001 to 2009, rejected tolls for I-95 in 2003. But with the state lacking money to improve the highway, it sought and won permission in 2007 from the federal government to put tolls on the road, if it wished.

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Area law enforcement personnel say they arrested a pair of illegal immigrants in a major drug bust Tuesday. Both men were the target of a joint drug investigation by the Sanford Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tactical Narcotics Team, Selective Enforcement Team and the Lee County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office Drug Unit. Police arrested 27year-old Jorge Alberto Aguilar of Lumberton and 20-year-old Jose DeJesus Garcia-Lopez of Siler City in the busts. Sgt. W.S. Hunt of the Sanford Police Department said investigators also seized 2 kilos of cocaine, an AK-47 assault gun and a Nissan Pathfinder where the drugs were stored. Hunt said Aguilar initially told police his name was Eusebio Estrada Jimenez before investigators learned his real identity. Both men are charged

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Fayetteville Observer

with trafficking in cocaine by possession, trafficking cocaine by transAguilar portation, conspiracy to traffic cocaine, maintaining a vehicle to keep drugs, possesDeJesus sion of drug paraphernalia and carrying a concealed weapon, police said. Aguilar and GarciaLopez were placed in Lee County Jail. No bond information was available at press time. Law enforcement personnel typically notify the U.S. Immigrations and Custom Enforcement office once they have arrested believed illegal immigrants.

Our stance: Though a reduction in taxes would’ve been nice, the fact that there was real debate on the budget was a plus for taxpayers

roperty owners in the city of Sanford won’t be seeing an ad valorem tax decrease after all. A decidedly split Sanford City Council voted 4-3 on Tuesday to pass a $41.4 budget ordinance for fiscal 2010-11 that will leave the city’s property tax rate unchanged at 54 cents per $100 valuation. A 1-cent decrease, proposed by Councilman Mike Stone, would have generated about $206,000 less in tax revenues for the city. There’s no use lamenting the failed effort to reduce the taxes. At the end of the day, as a stand-alone issue, a 1-cent property tax decrease in the city

would have largely amounted to a symbolic gesture. A gesture no doubt city residents would have greatly appreciated, but at a cost outweighed by the benefits of holding the rate steady. The simple fact of the matter is that given the city’s fund balance (north of $10 million), given the repeal of the business privilege license tax, given the anticipated growth in the fiscal strain the state continues to impose on municipalities, and given the uncertainties in this economy, residents didn’t lose when the movement to reduce the tax rate was defeated. Many factors surely went into the decision-making process

for council members, but here’s something important to recognize: one positive result from the tax rate remaining unchanged is that neither side of the issue will be able to use it as political leverage. In these days of “no tax” pledges and “No Tax” political signage, we could all do well without more misleading sound bites. So why else did taxpayers still come out ahead? The most important aspect of the debate wasn’t the decision on the property tax reduction, but rather the indications that this council — many of them, at least — are digging into the budget to find opportunities

for savings. In the past, council members have complained they never had full access to the entire budget document and couldn’t properly evaluate it. This year the council spent many hours meticulously combing through it looking for ways to save taxpayer dollars, which is their job. Tough times require tough decisions. But they also demand smart decisions, decisions based on information, insight and intelligent reasoning. We feel the decision to adopt this year’s budget Tuesday night was the right one, even if it didn’t come with a tax cut.

Dem Senate candidates

ALEIGH — Serious journalists covering political campaigns are supposed to prod candidates about important issues affecting people’s lives. They write about those issues, and try to explore even the slightest differences between the candidates regarding them. Then the reporters run headlong into reality: The ideological and policy differences between candidates are usually established by their party affiliation; typically there are not big differences in candidates’ positions in primary races; both primary and general election contests often come down to personality and character contests. So it is with Elaine Marshall and Cal Cunningham, the Democrats vying in a runoff for the right to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr. As the two debated the other night, Cunningham saw a crack and tried to turn it into a gulf. He used earlier comments by Marshall to portray her as willing to raise the retirement age to save Social Security. She denied that she would ever vote to do so, saying her words were misconstrued. Reporters had an issue. They focused on the exchange. The reality, of course, is that politicians of all stripes would be loath to raise the retirement age to save Social Security. Loath or not, within the next 20 years, Congress will either be voting to do just that or significantly reducing benefits. On the campaign trail, none will admit it. Despite the exchange, Marshall and Cunningham wouldn’t vote very differently from each other on this or most issues once in Washington. ... Marshall tried to depict Cunningham as a creation of Washington, discussing his dependence on Washington Democrats for his campaign money. Cunningham brought up the fact that Marshall raised $12,500 from the lobbyists whom she regulates as secretary of state. Now that’s some hard-hitting, sleazy stuff. Can you hear South Carolinians yawning? From all appearances, the two candidates are pretty squeaky clean. Yes, Cunningham is the candidate picked by the Washington Democratic establishment. He’s also an Army reservist lawyer who served in Iraq. As for Marshall, that $12,500 represents less than 1 percent of her campaign money raised, and it came from just three or four of the hundreds of lobbyists whom she could have legally solicited for donations. So, did anything important come out of the latest debate? Yes, but if you’re a serious journalist or policy wonk, you may want to stop reading right here. The important thing to take from the debate is that Cunningham has become more at ease, less wooden, less scripted at these events. It’s a skill set that, should he win against Marshall, he’ll need to have any chance against Burr. In the general election, policy differences between Burr and the Democratic nominee will come into play. That still doesn’t mean that personality and character won’t be significant factors for voters.

Don’t multiply the errors

ALEIGH — As the General Assembly continues to fashion the state’s 201011 budget, spending lobbies are employing all the usual tactics to defend their jobs, incomes, grants, and contracts. These tactics include public statements, private meetings, press releases, email blasts, and statistical malpractice. I thought I might get your attention with that last phrase. When budgets get tight, people start playing loose and fast with the basic facts of public finance. Costs become benefits. Small-than-expected increases become cuts. In my experience, the worst offenses occur right after someone utters the magic phrase “multiplier effect.” There’s no question that the purchase of a good or service has secondary effects on private incomes. Every hamburger you buy puts money into the pockets not just of the employees of the fast-food joint you frequent but also the producers of the food, the manufacturers of the packaging, the store’s other vendors, and all the individuals with whom these initial beneficiaries subsequently do business. Politicians and spending lobbies who make multiplier-effect arguments about the economic benefits of state spending seem to think that governments have some special ability to generate ripples of economic activity. For some reason, it never seems to occur to them that any dollar spent on any good or service must, by definition, have multiplier effects. Every time a dollar is collected in taxes and then expended on a government program, there are two sets of multiplier effects. There’s the ripple effect from the government expenditure of that dollar and the ripple effect from the lost expenditure of that dollar by the person who originally earned it. So to argue a net benefit from a governmental expenditure, you have to show that the total value of goods and services stemming from it exceeds the total value of the goods and services lost because of it. I’m not an anarchist, so I freely admit that there are cases in which government expenditure has a net positive effect. But not many. The multiplier-effect argument just cropped up in connection to North Carolina’s state parks. For generations, state residents and visitors of all backgrounds have enjoyed fishing the state’s waterways, hiking the state’s mountain trails, watching the state’s wildlife, and exploring the state’s natural beauty. Still, rather than sticking to the tried-and-true case for partial taxpayer subsidy of parks — Milton Friedman famously constructed a creative, if not wholly persuasive, case — park lobbyists recently resorted to concocting their own multipliereffect magic. It worked about as well as my son

John Hood Columnist John Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation

Andrew’s clumsy card tricks — when he was about four. In a Raleigh News & Observer story on fiscal challenges to the state’s parks, system director Lewis Ledford characterized a 2008 study by N.C. State University researchers as demonstrating that state taxpayers get “a good return on the investment” of tens of millions of dollars every year because nonlocal visitors spend an average of $23.56 on gas, meals, and other services while visiting state parks. I found the original study on the park system website. Ledford correctly cited the statistic but seems not to have understood its import. The definition of “non-local visitor” was based on county lines, not state lines. Someone who traveled to Eno River State Park from, say, Dunn or Asheboro was counted as a non-local visitor. But that person is obviously a North Carolinian. You can’t consider his spending to have been attracted to North Carolina by the park. In other words, the study in question says precisely nothing about whether North Carolina taxpayers derive net economic benefits from being forced to subsidize parks. The analysis does suggest that North Carolina communities containing or abutting state parks tend to gain income from communities that don’t contain or abut state parks. Big surprise. Given that the vast majority of state park users are from North Carolina, it is highly unlikely that a valid application of economic-impact modeling would show a significant net benefit to state taxpayers. If you believe in subsidizing parks for some other reason, make your case. But let’s cut out the statistical malpractice.

Today’s Prayer It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows. (Psalm 127:2) PRAYER: Help us, Father, not to worry about what happens to us, knowing that You are with us in all things. Amen.

To the Editor: In light of his recent national notoriety, I wish to commend Congressman Bob Etheridge for doing his best to reduce his carbon footprint by actually walking down the sidewalk. As my progressive comrades know all too well, Congressman Etheridge’s actions are simply reflecting the current administration’s Chicago Style of politics. One of our esteemed cabinet members, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, is sworn to “keep our boot on the neck” of an oil company and our most “dear leader” President Obama recently mentioned he wishes to “know whose a** to kick.” Thus, Congressman Bob’s physical restraint of this alleged student is totally acceptable behavior. Congressman Etheridge has every right to demand the identity of these street hooligans. This in turn will allow the SEIU goons to intimidate these right-wing extremists into silence! Certainly the pending government regulation of the Internet, a Supreme Court nominee who values book banning and the proposed subsidizing the national news media with federal dollars will assure that we have only news free of opposing viewpoints. Chairman Ty Stumpf is correct; Congressman Etheridge has done wonders for our local economy. His votes supporting the Obama agenda most assuredly will lock our children into a future of indentured servitude to our most benevolent government. Look at the unemployment numbers ... they’ve never been better. Our local economy is booming, and with the pending worker’s paradise, we will certainly all enjoy spreading the wealth around. As always, I shall remain supporting the coming dictatorship of the proletariat! KIRK D. SMITH Sanford

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Business breaks facing debate could top $300M By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The price tag for a legislative grabbag of tax breaks designed to spur economic growth and job creation could top $300 million in the next five years, legislators learned Wednesday. The credits for film producers, biodiesel makers, wind-turbine manufacturers, paper factories, and others would see North Carolina pass up collection of $300 million in taxes, according to legislative fiscal analysts. The bill cleared the House Finance Committee on Wednesday and was scheduled for debate Thursday before the full House. The greatest impact comes from extending tax credits for movie and tele-

Gas Continued from Page 1A

Experts from North Carolina State University and the N.C. Geological Survey gave detailed presentations on the legal and environmental issues connected to natural gas drilling, and answered questions from the packed audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The landowners hopefully will take it to heart, research it and make their own decision based on good information,â&#x20AC;? Condlin said. Lee County resident James Wood was recently contacted by a drilling company, and reserved a spot at the meeting to learn the best way to tap the potential of his 45 acres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to see if I was going to be Jed Clampett,â&#x20AC;? Wood said. Lee County resident Dennis Brown contacted a drilling company himself about his 14 acres of land prior to attending

vision productions for the second straight year. A law passed last year increased how much of their North Carolina spending that production companies could take off their taxes, a rise from 15 percent to 25 percent. Now lawmakers are considering raising the maximum credit per film from $7.5 million to $20 million. They also could begin to count the big salaries of star actors and directors. The expanded film credit is predicted to cost $166 million if movie studios start shooting in the state, and hiring production workers and buying supplies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not coming,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Pryor Gibson, D-Anson, a primary bill sponsor. The package also includes incentives aimed at attracting two computer

data centers, an energy turbine manufacturer, and a plant converting wood pulp to paper. State business recruiters have told some legislators the companies are close to completing commitments to expand in North Carolina. If all of the unnamed companies moved into the state, they would combine for more than 1,500 jobs and nearly $2 billion in investment, Sen. Dan Clodfelter, DMecklenburg, said last month. Supporters say the credits are given only after positions are created and hundreds of jobs are at stake if just a couple of companies come to North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the jobs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the tax credits,â&#x20AC;? said House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson.

Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any gas there, then potentially my kids and grandkids could have it,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. Theodore Feitshans of the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at North Carolina State University emphasized the complex and sensitive legal issues surrounding land leasing for oil drilling, while audience members took notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you saw a lot of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes get opened today,â&#x20AC;? said Sanford resident Ray Covington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they realize thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot more to it than signing their name on a piece of paper and thinking theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to cash in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they need to protect themselves.â&#x20AC;? Covington and two partners, all local landowners, recently formed

the North Carolina Oil and Gas LLC. According to partner Rob Knight, their goal is to form a cooperative of landowners with a total of 10,000 acres of land in order to get a better deal from drilling companies and have better legal protection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the key point is for people to slow down and not feel rushed to sign anything,â&#x20AC;? Covington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to take a long time to figure out the details.â&#x20AC;? After listening to the information presented at the meeting, Merritt was having second thoughts about that letter he got in the mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a very low initial offer,â&#x20AC;? Merritt said after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no downside to waiting.â&#x20AC;?

Shoes Continued from Page 1A

4-Souls and now as Share Our Shoes, its message has spread throughout the country. Pierce recently received a shipment of 2,000 pairs from Kansas, she is expecting a shipment from California and she has already received several loads from Sanford. When she learned about Share Our Shoes in March, Sanford resident Ethel Peakes quickly began collecting pairs to donate. She drives to the homes of people who have shoes to give to retrieve the donations, and once she has a large enough load, she drives the shoes to the Share Our Shoes office in Raleigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a pretty good turnout the first time I did it,â&#x20AC;? Peakes said. By the end of May, Peakes had collected 1,400 pairs with the help of local schools and churches. Pierce said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of volunteers like Peakes that Share Our Shoes is able to help so many people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely been dedicated to this for a long time now,â&#x20AC;? Pierce said. Pierce founded Share Our Shoes after her daughter told her one of her friends couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk to their house to play because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a pair of shoes that fit her. When Pierce went to the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, she saw that the motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes were held together with duct tape. The family was struggling to make ends meet and

couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford new footwear. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Pierce sprang to action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Share Our Shoes) has definitely grown a lot from the 10 or 15 fliers that we handed out in our neighborhood,â&#x20AC;? Pierce said. The organization has encountered everyone from people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford shoes and have acquired foot-borne injuries and diseases because of it to people who have been unemployed for awhile and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the dress shoes they need to start a new job. While Peakes hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personally encountered anyone in Sanford in dire need of shoes, she said it feels good to help whoever she can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wherever I can help, I try to help,â&#x20AC;? Peakes said. Two of the places Pierce said have needed the most help recently are Haiti, which is still recovering from the earthquake, and Nashville, Tenn., where many people lost everything in Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s floods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really blew my mind in Nashville,â&#x20AC;? Pierce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first got there, all the water Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen on TV was gone. But as you went into the neighborhoods, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see everything these people owned out in the yard. They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep anything.â&#x20AC;? Share Our Shoes accepts all sizes and styles of shoes. Peakes said she hopes people in Sanford will find shoes they rarely wear and be willing to give them to someone in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives me a good feeling to know that I can help someone,â&#x20AC;? Peakes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good experience.â&#x20AC;?

the American Red Cross. The Red Cross received a phone call from Chatham County Emergency Management at about 10 p.m. Tuesday reporting the damage. The Red Cross arranged for the family to stay at a hotel and provided them with money for clothing, food, pillows, blankets and other necessities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are not allowed to go back in their home,â&#x20AC;? Cameron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been roped off by the fire department because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a structural danger.â&#x20AC;? The Red Cross went to Siler City to assess the scene Wednesday, and Cameron said the family is lucky to be alive. She said when the mother saw the tree approaching, she told the family to run to the basement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They more than likely would have been killed if they stayed in the kitchen where they were,â&#x20AC;? Cameron said. Tucker said while extensive damage to a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home can be shocking, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to get used to working in emergency management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just go out there and try to help the family so they can get their thoughts together,â&#x20AC;? Tucker said. Cameron said the Lee and Chatham County Red Cross has dealt with several house fires, but it has only seen two cases of fallen trees damaging homes in the past year and a half. The other case happened in Sanford last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real eye-opener to see something that huge do that much damage,â&#x20AC;? Cameron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thought of how someone could be killed is scary.â&#x20AC;?

MOORE COUNTY n On June 11, sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigators arrested Dennis Frank Carr, 66, of Vass, who was then indicted by a Moore County Grand Jury for one count of felony indecent liberties with a child and one count of misdemeanor sexual battery. Carr was confined to the Moore County Detention Center under a $50,000 secured bond. n Sheriff Lane Carter reports that on June 13, his office received a report of a rape near the Cameron area. n A 19-year-old female reported that she was camping near the intersection of McPherson Road and Cabins Creek Road at an area known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hippy Holeâ&#x20AC;? when the rape occurred. On June 11, sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigators arrested Larry Wayne Boone, 46, of Cameron. Boone was charged with second degree rape and was placed in the Moore County Detention Center under a $100,000 secured bond.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the mercy of the legislature right now to see what will pass.â&#x20AC;? At Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference, superintendents from across the state detailed the current and projected impacts of state cuts to their school districts, from ballooning class sizes to transportation shortages. Lee County has avoided many of those pitfalls so far, Tatum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A year ago, I think we were more proactive than some counties were, therefore weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not

having to experience some of those major issues,â&#x20AC;? Tatum said. Any additional cuts would have dire consequences for local classrooms, Tatum said, but the board does not plan to request any more money from the county commissioners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully the House and Senate members have listened to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being said, and will keep that in the back of their minds as they complete the budget process,â&#x20AC;? Moss said.

FIREWORKS LAWS

STATE BRIEFS

Tighter rules could loosen for Fourth weekend from Morehead City on the coast to Sparta in the mountains, but is struggling to find enough licensed operators to run them all. Hale dropped bids for contracts for three shows because he lacked the manpower. Three hundred licenses have been issued statewide. The problem is that part-time pyrotechnics operators either didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the new licensing requirement or didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow through with the process within a fourmonth window during the spring, Hale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Human nature is, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ah, well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do that tomorrow,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. But pyrotechnics professionals arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones effected. In Mars Hill, a town of about 1,800 in Madison County, Fire Chief Eddie Fox said he and his deputy got their licenses just last week. The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-minute show is back on for July 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pretty much told everyone that if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to get this license, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to have fireworks,â&#x20AC;? said Fox, who still supports the law.

By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A state law passed after the July 4 blast on Ocracoke Island that killed four fireworks handlers mandated safety training for those who prepare the displays, but some warn the rule could limit fireworks shows this Independence Day. North Carolina legislators are considering a one-time exception to the heightened safety training requirements for workers to allow for fireworks shows that may risk cancellation. The new law is causing some towns to struggle to find operators who have completed training to meet the new licensing requirements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some small communities that may not be able to get a displayâ&#x20AC;? befitting the holiday tradition, said Jeff Hale, who owns a Lexington fireworks display company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying really hard not to cancel any of my shows.â&#x20AC;? He said his Hale Artificier Inc. has booked 39 fireworks shows over the Independence Day

Down the road in Hot Springs, a vacation town of about 600, Fire Chief Joshua Norton said neither he nor any other firefighter was able to attend the required safety classes offered since February. That forced the department to hire professionals for $5,000 instead of the $500 the department spent to do it themselves last summer. The money will come from businesses that depend on tourists drawn to see the explosions over the lawn of the Hot Springs Resort & Spa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rate is very expensive for a very small town,â&#x20AC;? spa manager Heather Hicks said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we were able to literally pass the hat (among businesses) and make it happen. This was an event that was important to the community.â&#x20AC;? The General Assembly is considering legislation that this year only would allow the state insurance commissioner, who is also the state fire marshal, to issue a 30-day operatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license to adults who have worked on six fireworks displays in the past 10 years. Failing to follow

through with safety training and a test puts the license out of reach until September 2011. The House Finance Committee is scheduled to take up the measure Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate we would have to process hundreds and hundreds of theseâ&#x20AC;? temporary licenses, said Kristin Milam, spokeswoman for Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if there are a handful of folks who have somehow missed the notification, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who these temporary permits would be beneficial to.â&#x20AC;? Safety regulations for handling pyrotechnics is regulated on a state-by-state basis and varies widely, said Julie L. Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association, a trade group in Bethesda, Md. Twenty states have no licensing requirement, she said. About 87 percent of the 213 million pounds of fireworks Americans fired off in 2008 were backyard firecrackers and rockets, the group said.

The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president said at a news conference Wednesday the civil rights organization plans more protests, along with marches, workshops and community meetings. The Rev. William Barber was one of four demonstrators arrested Tuesday at a meeting of the Wake County school board. They face second-degree trespassing charges. NAACP attorney Al McSurely says the four want a trial and a chance to subpoena school board members.

Lawmakers OK tougher animal cruelty penalties RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina legislators decided Wednesday that anyone so violent that they would torture, starve, or kill an animal should face possible jail time. The state Senate voted 47-0 to give final approval to raising penalties for some of the worst cases of animal abuse. Gov. Beverly Perdue must decide whether to sign the legislation into law. The punishment could be up to eight months behind bars, but a judge could agree to community service instead. The bill was introduced after a Greensboro man received probation after burning, beating and leaving his 8-week-old puppy to die. The female pit-bull mix was later adopted and named Susie.

N.C. among states protesting offshore oil drilling

BEAUFORT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some North Carolina residents are joining a protest against offshore oil drilling, including a Carteret County woman who says she felt frustrated by the BP spill. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported that Nicki Guthrie is leading the effort for Carteret County residents to participate in the Hands Across the Sand protest being held internationally June 26. On that date, people will stand on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaches and other waterways and hold hands for 15 minutes to protest offshore drilling.

NAACP vows more protests Wake policy RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina NAACP leaders say four arrests over a new diversity policy in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest school district are only the beginning.

Jobless aid bill hits deficit wall $80 billion. The swing toward frugality runs counter to the advice of economists who support the bill’s funding for additional jobless benefits and help to states to avoid layoffs of public service jobs. They fear that the economy could slip back into recession just as it’s emerging from the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned last week that while lawmakers need to come up with a plan for tackling the nation’s long-term deficit crisis, the U.S. recovery is still fragile. It’s too early for

By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s plea for more stimulus spending as insurance against a double-dip recession hit a roadblock in the Senate on Wednesday, the victim of election-year anxiety over huge federal deficits. A dozen Democrats joined Republicans on a key 52-45 test vote rejecting an Obama-endorsed, $140 billion package of unemployment benefits, aid to states, business and family tax breaks and Medicare payments for doctors because it would swell the federal debt by

large, immediate spending cuts, Bernanke said. “We’ve got to do more to build on the existing jobs momentum and that’s what these targeted measures are about,” said White House economist Jared Bernstein. The Senate earlier passed another version with even bigger deficits. But that was before tea party-backed candidates running on anti-deficit, anti-big government platforms began knocking off more established politicians in spring primaries. Despite the loss, Democratic leaders predicted serenely that a scaled-back version of the measure — extending unemployment benefits for the longterm jobless and providing $24 billion in aid to the states — could pass, possibly as early as later this week, after relatively minor revisions. “We need to change a few things,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Later Wednesday, Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., unveiled a new, slimmer version of the bill that he predicted would “provide a path forward.” But Republicans cautioned that the margin of Wednesday’s vote was a bad sign for a bill that, even after revisions, would still likely add more than $50 billion to deficits over the next decade. Democrats would need 60 votes, 15 more than they got Wednesday, to prevent Republicans from blocking the bill. “All I can tell you is that consensus about borrow-

ing, debt, spending is growing stronger in our caucus and I think it is in the Democrats’ as well,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. Obama renewed his push for the measure last weekend, warning that “hundreds of thousands” of state and local government jobs could be lost without $24 billion in Medicaid money to help states balance their budgets and $23 billion more to prevent layoffs at local school districts around the country. The new version released Wednesday afternoon would roll back last year’s $25-a-week increase in unemployment checks and give doctors just a six-month reprieve from scheduled cuts in their Medicare payments instead of relief through 2011. A new tax on investment fund managers — who presently pay taxes on much of their income at the 15 percent capital gains rate instead of the 35 percent top income tax rate — was pared back for venture capitalists. It would impose regular income taxes on only 50 percent of profits that are the result of sales of assets held for five or more years. The lost receipts would be replaced with still more revenue from an increase in the per-barrel tax paid into the oil spill liability trust fund. Now limited to 8 cents a barrel, the tax would rise more than six-fold to 49 cents a barrel under the latest version of the bill — instead of 41 cents under the version killed on Wednesday.

Professor indicted for murder in brother’s shooting CANTON, Mass. (AP) — A biology professor charged with killing three of her colleagues at an Alabama university has been indicted in the 1986 shooting death of her brother in Massachusetts, prosecutors announced Wednesday. Authorities had originally ruled that the shooting of Amy Bishop’s brother was an accident, but they reopened the case after Bishop was charged in February with gunning down six of her colleagues at the University of AlabamaHuntsville, killing three. Bishop, 45, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 18-yearold brother, Seth, Norfolk District Attorney William Keating said. Keating said he did not understand why charges were never brought against Bishop.

Fish and other wildlife flee oil, gather near shore GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) — Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow water just off the Florida coast. Mullets, crabs, rays and small fish congregate by the thousands off an Alabama pier. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into marshes, never to be seen again. Marine scientists studying the effects of the BP disaster are seeing some strange — and troubling — phenomena. Fish and other wildlife are fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters along the coast. But that is not the hopeful

sign it might appear to be, researchers say. The animals’ presence close to shore means their usual habitat is badly polluted, and the crowding could result in mass die-offs as fish run out of oxygen. Also, the animals could easily get devoured by predators. “A parallel would be: Why are the wildlife running to the edge of a forest on fire? There will be a lot of fish, sharks, turtles trying to get out of this water they detect is not suitable,” said Larry Crowder, a Duke University marine biologist.

Poll bolsters Dems’ hopes for retaining control of Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s encouraging news for Democrats battling to retain control of Congress in this fall’s elections, with the party holding a slender edge in public trust for shepherding the economy and slightly more people saying their finances are healthy, according to a new poll. The reeling economy remains people’s top concern, according to an Associated Press-GfK Poll conducted earlier this month, making public attitudes about it crucial for both parties’ hopes in November. The good news for Democrats: By a margin of 47 percent to 42 percent, people trust them more than Republicans to guide the economy, and 64 percent — slightly more than in April — say their household budgets are in good shape. In addition, people want Democrats to win control of Congress by a 46 percent to 39 percent margin. That is the second straight month in which Democrats have held a delicate advantage on that question since April, when 44 percent preferred Republicans and 41 percent picked Democrats. “When Clinton was in office, we were doing exceptionally well. Then Republicans got in office and we are where we are,” said Daniel Lowery, 23, a warehouse worker from Fostoria, Ohio, who wants Democrats to continue leading the House and Senate.

Hot ‘Cleveland’ has ‘Golden’ roots

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s a sitcom about four single women of a certain age, portrayed by an ensemble that includes Betty White. “Hot in Cleveland,” which debuts this week on TV Land, is not officially “The Golden Girls” redux. But the similarities don’t end with the set up. Just as White shared top billing with three golden character actresses (Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty), she now works with another trio of established comedy veterans: Valerie Bertinelli (“One Day at a Time”); Jane Leeves (“Frasier”); and Wendie Malick (“Just Shoot Me!”). The four recently sat for an interview with The Associated Press on a key set for the series: the bar where three fifty-somethings (played by Bertinelli, 50; Leeves, 49; and Malick, 59) discover that while they may be past their prime in hometown Los Angeles, they are still “hot” in Cleveland. And, with that realization, they decide to stay there, moving into a house that comes complete with its own caretaker (White, 88).

Wendie Malick points toward Leeves. All laugh.) Leeves: I’m English. Pubs. It’s the natural habitat. AP: I see remnants of merlot on that table cloth. Bertinelli: It’s actually grape juice. (Laughs.) They won’t give us real liquor around here. Leeves: I don’t think you are allowed to really drink on television. Malick: This is a bar that doesn’t have premium labels, as you may well imagine. So, we are kind of going down in terms of our needs since we have arrived in Cleveland. White: We’re cheap, is what she’s trying to say. AP: When this script came across your desks and they said it would be on TV Land, did you think, “Huh?”

Associated Press: So, who is the most comfortable here, sitting in a bar? (Betty White and Jane Leeves raise their hands.

Bertinelli: Goodness. When I first heard about it, Betty was already set. And this happened most quickly. Malick (to White): You were the bait. Bertinelli: Yes, she was the bait. ... It was (writer) Suzanne (Martin) who came up with it, the idea. Then they sold it to TV Land immediately, and then they cast all of us ... and they started shooting within a month. Then within a month, we were picked up. That doesn’t happen within television land — except on TV Land. AP: When I first heard about this, I thought, “the new millennium’s ’Golden Girls.”’ Malick: Silver. “The Silver Girls. AP: What do you think

of that, Betty? Do you think this is the next generation’s “Golden Girls”? White: I think it’s chemistry no matter what the age. I think age is the bottom rung. I don’t think age matters. ... I’m 88 and a half, and I’m still working my tail off. AP: How is the chemistry different here than it was on “The Golden Girls”? White: It doesn’t differ that much. It is a team effort. These girls all work together. There is never, “How many lines do you have?” Bertinelli: We are all trying to get rid of our lines, usually. “Why don’t you take this line? I need a break here.” AP (to Bertinelli, Leeves and Malick): These three women are really going through a mid-life crisis, all of them. Have you already gone through that? Malick: I have to say that I am so grateful to this woman right here (turning to White), because I am an actress in her 50s who, along with so many of my peers, has wondered how long there will be a place for me at the table. And when I see your career, it just reinforces that there is no end to this. White: You are never done.

Megan Fox is engaged to beau Brian Austin Green LOS ANGELES (AP) — Megan Fox is off the market. Again. A spokeswoman for the 24year-old actress says Fox Fox is engaged to her longtime boyfriend, actor Brian Austin Green. Publicist Dominique Appel declined to elaborate. Fox was previously engaged to Green, 36, whom she has been dating for several years. The two appeared together in an online video protesting California school budget cuts earlier this year.

He told reporters in Beijing on Wednesday that such parts are rarely offered to him in the U.S., where audiences are more used to seeing him in jokey, lighthearted roles in films such as the “Rush Hour” series. “I’m very happy to take on a different role. It’s not just a comedy, but a serious role,” Chan said. Sony’s new version of 1984’s “The Karate Kid” debuted at No. 1 for the weekend with a whopping $56 million, according to studio estimates. Costing just $40 million to make, the film far exceeded the studio’s expectations.

Free NYC concert canceled after crowd gets unruly NEW YORK (AP) — A free concert by pop band Hanson and up-and-coming Canadian rapper Drake was canceled Tuesday after twice as many people as anticipated showed up and many became unruly, police said. The show started at about 6 p.m. with an opening act at Pier 17 on Manhattan’s South Street Seaport, a popular summer locale for concerts. Hanson, the Tulsa, Okla., brothers behind the 1997 hit “Mmmbop,” and headliner Drake, whose album “Thank Me Later” debuted Tuesday, were to appear on stage soon after. Organizers were anticipating about 10,0000 people but nearly 20,000 showed up, police said. Many people climbed roofs and started throwing bottles, as concertgoers smashed together toward the stage, police said.

Stewart picks fourth ‘Twilight’ movie ending LOS ANGELES (AP) — The stars of “Twilight” are already looking forward to the final two installments in the vampire franchise. Author Stephenie Meyer’s fourth and final “Twilight” book, “Breaking Dawn,” is splitting into two parts, and while scripts are still being written, star Kristen Stewart says she knows exactly where the fourth movie should end: With Bella having just given birth and Edward being forced to change her into a vampire to save her life. “I feel like it’s so obvious where you break it up. It’s as soon as she turns,” Stewart told AP Television at a weekend publicity event for the third “Twilight” film, “Eclipse,” opening June 30. “Gosh, you open your eyes to this different world, right? That would be amazing.” Stewart said she’s looking forward to her character’s development in the final two films, the first of which is set for release Nov. 18, 2011.

BP â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sorryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; guarantees $20 billion

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama wrested a $20 billion compensation guarantee and an apology to the nation from British oil giant BP Wednesday, announcing the company would set up a major claims fund for shrimpers, restaurateurs and others whose lives and livelihoods are being wrecked by the oil flooding into the Gulf of Mexico. Applause broke out during a community meeting in Orange Beach, Ala., on the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked for that two weeks ago and they laughed at us,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Tony Kennon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you, President Obama, for taking a bunch of rednecksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suggestion and making it happen.â&#x20AC;? Obama had said he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;make BP pay,â&#x20AC;? and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman said after four hours of intense White House negotiations that BP was ready. The unending oil spill saga had yielded almost no good news before this. Creation of the fund â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to be run by an administrator with a proven track record â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the first big success Obama has been able to give to Gulf residents and the nation in the eight weeks since the explosion, a period during which the spill has taken ever more of the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, threatening anything else the president hoped to focus on or

Huge as the $20 billion seems, both Obama and London-based BP PLC said it was by no means a cap. The deal also adhered to what Obama had said was his non-negotiable demand: that the fund and the claims process be administered independently from BP. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a government fund, either, but will be led by the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;pay czar,â&#x20AC;? Kenneth Feinberg, better known as the man who oversaw the $7 billion government fund for families of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The April 20 explosion of an offshore oil rig killed 11 workers and sent millions of gallons of crude spewing into the water from the broken well a mile

below the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as much as 118 million gallons so far and still flowing. More wildlife, beaches and marshlands are fouled every day, jeopardizing not just the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fragile ecology but a prized Gulf way of life that is built on fishing and tourism. Though the company hopes to install equipment soon to capture as much as 90 percent of the escaping oil, the leak is expected to continue at least until relief wells are finished in August. The use of the BP escrow fund is intended to avoid a repeat of the painful aftermath of 1989 Exxon Valdez oil disaster in Alaska, when the fight over money dragged out in courts over roughly two decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this is about is accountability,â&#x20AC;? said

Obama in brief remarks in the State Dining Room after a four-hour, onagain, off-again White House negotiation session with BP executives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the small-business owners, for the fishermen, for the shrimpers, this is not just a matter of dollars and cents. ... A lot of these folks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a cushion.â&#x20AC;? On the driveway outside, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg apologized for â&#x20AC;&#x153;this tragic accident that should never have happened.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We care about the small people,â&#x20AC;? he said. That comment wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as well-received as the promise of compensation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not small people,â&#x20AC;? said Justin Taffinder of New Orleans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re human beings. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no greater than us. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bow down to them.â&#x20AC;? Added Terry Hanners, who has a small construction company in Gulf Shores, Ala.: â&#x20AC;&#x153;These BP people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met are good folks. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a good rapport with them. But BP does not care about us. They are so far above us. We are the nickel-anddime folks of this world.â&#x20AC;? Asked about the remark by Svanberg, who is Swedish, BP spokesman Toby Odone told The Associated Press in an e-mail that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is clear that what he means is that he cares about local businesses and local people. This was a slip in translation.â&#x20AC;?

Apple gets record number of iPhone orders NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Apple Inc. said Wednesday that it and its phone company partners took orders for more than 600,000 iPhone 4s in one day, the highest number itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever seen. The companies stopped taking orders for shipment by the June 24 launch day in the U.S. The crush of orders sets the scene for long lines and potential chaos at stores when the next version of the iPhone is released. Judging by previous years, shortages could last through the summer. Apple and its partners started taking orders for the iPhone 4 on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, AT&T Inc., the exclusive carrier in the U.S., had stopped taking orders, saying it had to focus on fulfilling orders already received. At midday Wednesday, Apple was accepting orders only for black models, and would only guarantee shipment by July 2. The white model was unavailable for order.

Pill to boost female sex drive falls short of goals, FDA says WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A pink pill designed to boost sex drive in women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the latest attempt by the drug industry to find a female equivalent to Viagra â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fell short in two studies, federal health regulators said Wednesday. The Food and Drug Administration is considering Boehringer Ingelheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug

flibanserin for premenopausal women who report a lack of sexual desire, a market that drugmakers have been targeting for more than a decade since the blockbuster success of Viagra in men. The search for so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;female Viagra,â&#x20AC;? has proved elusive though, with many drugs abandoned after showing lackluster results. On Friday the FDA will ask a panel of experts to weigh in on the safety and effectiveness of Boehringerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug. The agency is not required to follow the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice, though it often does.

Defying sanctions, Iran plans more nuclear reactors

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Defying week-old U.N. sanctions over its nuclear program, Iran promised to expand its atomic research Wednesday as its president vowed to punish the West and force it to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sit at the negotiating table like a polite childâ&#x20AC;? before agreeing to further talks. Tehran, which insists its nuclear work is peaceful, said it will build four new reactors for atomic medical research. The U.S. and some of its allies believe Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, and the Islamic Republicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to expand research could encourage calls in the West for more economic pressure against the country. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran will not make â&#x20AC;&#x153;one iota of concessions.â&#x20AC;? He said he will soon announce new conditions for talks with the West, but first he wants to punish world powers for imposing sanctions.

Back in Action

PERKINS’ KNEE KEEPS HIM OUT OF GAME 7 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Boston center Kendrick Perkins’ sprained right knee will keep him out of Game 7 of the NBA finals. Celtics coach Doc Rivers confirmed Wednesday that his starting center won’t play in the season finale against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, dealing a blow to Boston’s hopes of winning its 18th championship. Perkins was hurt midway through the first quarter of Boston’s 89-67 loss in Game 6 on Tuesday night when he landed awkwardly after battling under the hoop with Lakers center Andrew Bynum. Perkins sprained multiple ligaments in his knee, according to Rivers. Perkins says he’s devastated to miss the game, but expects his teammates to fill in admirably. Rasheed Wallace or Glen Davis likely will start in Perkins’ place.

PAC-10 INVITES UTAH TO JOIN CONFERENCE

Lee County pitcher Nick Durazo, shown in this file photo, threw two quality innings to earn the win in the Yellow Jackets’ 3-2 win over Northwest Guilford on Monday night. The Yellow Jackets are currently 2-0 in Central Carolina Scholastic Summer League play.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Pac-10 is inviting the University of Utah to become the 12th member of the conference. The Pac-10 extended an invitation Wednesday to Utah, which is currently in the Mountain West Conference. The move comes two days after being turned down by Texas, Oklahoma and three other Big 12 schools. Utah officials did not immediately say whether the invitation would be accepted. The school’s board of trustees will meet Thursday to discuss the school’s conference affiliation. A news conference was scheduled at the university’s football stadium following the board’s meeting. Last week, Colorado already accepted an invitation to join the Pac-10.

CHIPPER JONES STILL NOT SAYING IF HE’S RETIRING ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones says he still not ready to announce whether he’ll retire after the season. Speaking before Wednesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Jones said “there’s no change” in his status, and he asked the media to give him time to “do this in my own time, in my own way.” Jones met with manager Bobby Cox, general manager Frank Wren and team president John Schuerholz on Tuesday to discuss his future. The 38-yearold player is frustrated about the way he’s played the last two seasons and isn’t sure if he wants to come back for another year.

SANFORD — After a big run in the 4-A state tournament, the Lee County Yellow Jackets are picking up right where they left off in Central Carolina Scholastic Summer League baseball play. Winning. The Yellow Jackets, who went all the way to the 4-A East Regional Final and lost a bestof-three series 2-1 to Wilmington Laney, are 2-0 so far this summer, getting huge wins over Northwest Guilford and Fuquay-Varina. That magical postseason run has helped the Yellow Jackets gain an extra sense of confidence at the start of summer ball. “I think they’ve got an expectation on

themselves as to how well they can play,” said Lee County assistant coach Neil Rosser, who is coaching the team along with Shawn McNeill this summer while head coach Charlie Spivey is on vacation. “That run we had in the playoffs gave this team some big confidence and they’re playing well. They know the other teams are gunning for them, so they want to step their play up in every game we play.” Missing this summer is ace Dillon Frye, who is taking the summer off to play for a legion club. Also eight seniors recently graduated, all of whom played a significant role in getting the Yellow Jackets just two innings away In this file photo, Lee County second baseman from their first state Carson Wilson makes a routine play to first.

CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers spent the past month focusing on their quarterbacks and passing game, mourned Thomas Davis’ untimely knee injury and spoke with guarded confidence about the upcoming season. With so many unknowns and a roster full of new faces, there was really no other way for the players and coaches to think as they wrapped up a month of voluntary workouts on Wednesday and began a six-week break before the start of training camp. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, there is no doubt,” coach John Fox said. Added quarterback Matt Moore, the front-runner for starting job despite just eight career starts: “Like everyone has been saying, we’re a young team. But we’re going to try to use that to our advantage.” An offseason that saw numerous veterans released, not re-signed or allowed to leave in free agency claimed another starter last week when Davis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. It marred the beginning of Carolina’s youth movement, leaving a giant hole at weakside linebacker and raising questions if Davis came back too soon from his first ACL tear in November. But not two hours after the Panthers scattered for their vacation, well-known orthopedic surgeon James Andrews indicated Davis’ second ACL tear in seven months was a “fluke” after speaking at the Charlotte Touchdown Club luncheon. “ACLs, they can do the same maneuver two million times without an injury,” Andrews said. “And all of a sudden the same little maneuver, sometimes not much of anything, they can tear their ACL.” Davis’ agent consulted with the well-known Andrews before deciding to have Panthers team doctor Pat Connor perform the surgery on Saturday. Andrews defended Connor and trainer Ryan Vermillion for Davis’ speedy rehab process and

Pebble now an intimate meeting of land and sea By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — One shot that stands out from the last U.S. Open at Pebble Beach was the 7-iron that Tiger Woods gouged out of the right rough on the par-5 sixth, a blind shot over the hill and onto the green to turn trouble into birdie. He might not get so lucky if it happens this year. That famous meeting of land and sea is a lot more intimate at this U.S. Open. In a subtle change that could put even more fear into Pebble Beach, the USGA opted to eliminate the rough on six holes along the Pacific coast-

line, allowing errant shots to go over the cliff and into the biggest water hazard in golf. “If the wind is into us on those holes, you’re going to see a lot of fun and games,” Ernie Els said. “I actually hit one onto the beach the other day on the 10th hole. If you just leak it there, there’s no way. The cliff comes into the fairway a little bit and from the tee, you might think you can fly it over that side. But you can’t. Or at least I can’t.” Els didn’t go down to the beach to play his next shot. It was a practice round. Besides, “I don’t know if I would have come back up.”

Padraig Harrington knows where not to hit his tee shot on the sixth hole. He pushed it a little bit to the right during the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February and watched it tumble over the bluffs and onto the rocks at Stillwater Cove. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playable to the right,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playable then.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one more element for Woods, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and the rest of the 156-man field to contend with when the 110th U.S. Open gets under way on Thursday. Pebble Beach already is a severe test with its tiny greens, already so firm that the USGA put water on them before the final practice round Wednesday to keep them from dying by the weekend. The forecast is for cool temperatures and no rain all week, although there is no predicting whether a marine layer will keep the sun off the Monterey Peninsula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fog will be the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friend,â&#x20AC;? said Roger Maltbie, a Pebble regular who now works for NBC Sports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we get sunny conditions with a bit of breeze, this will be a great championship.

FleA And tick prevention For pets Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance for pets, they can be potentially hazardous thanks to the diseases they may carry. Most veterinarians advise pet owners to use a flea and tick product to safeguard their animals against parasites. This is a year-round effort, because you never know when your dog or cat can be affected by fleas or ticks. Fleas and ticks also do not differentiate between pets and humans for their meals. So an animal with an infestation can easily pass on his or her â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendsâ&#x20AC;? to a pet owner. Ticks can be carriers of Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Monthly treatment with a topical flea and tick product can reduce the risk. Keep in mind that canine products are not interchangeable with feline products. So carefully read the packaging of any flea and tick item to ensure the safety of your pet. If you find fleas on your dog or cat, you will likely have to treat the entire house. The process may have to be repeated several times to eliminate all fleas from the premises.

That decision may be overshadowed when training camp begins, however, because of the uncertainty and intrigue at quarterback. Moore was named the starter after Jake Delhomme was jettisoned after a miserable 2009 season. But the dynamic changed when Jimmy Clausen of Notre Dame dropped into Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lap with the 48th pick after his stunning fall in the draft. While Moore looked

Moore said. Moore praised Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to focus exclusively on passing early on in the voluntary workouts. It was understandable, since while DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart each rushed for over 1,100 yards last season, the Panthers ranked 27th in passing as they slipped from NFC South champions to 8-8.

The Yellow Jackets held off Northwest Guilford on Monday night in Sanford, winning the CCSSL season opener 3-2. Nick Durazo, who will be a junior in the fall, threw the final two innings of that game to earn his first win of the summer season. On Tuesday, Lee County cruised to a 9-2 victory over Fuquay-Varina with Russell Clark getting the victory on

First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday in Sanford. On the mound for the Yellow Jackets will be Tyler Castleberry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to come out and do what we did at the end of the spring season and so far this summer,â&#x20AC;? said Rosser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing a good job at getting timely hits when we need them and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played pretty well defensively. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to keep that up and continue pitching well.â&#x20AC;? In summer league, the Yellow Jackets compete in the Central Division, which includes teams such as Fuquay-Varina, Middle Creek and Harnett Central. Rosser says that in order for the Yellow Jackets to

continue doing well in the summer, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to be weary of teams like Harnett Central. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be aware of teams like Harnett Central and Garner,â&#x20AC;? said Rosser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also the other teams in our conference like Middle Creek. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to come out and get an early win against them and keep our confidence going.â&#x20AC;? Rosser feels that the Yellow Jackets are still hungry after getting so close to the title game in the spring. that these Yellow Jackets are more than capable of getting back there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a taste for it and they want to get back to it,â&#x20AC;? said Rosser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a good group of guys that believe in each other. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather see each other do well than themselves as individuals. Anytime you have that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing for your team.â&#x20AC;?

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: You have to be conscientious about completion this year. Do not leave anything undone or someone else will take control and get credit for your ideas. Strive for stability, not the impossible. Sometimes less does turn out to be more. Get rid of dead weight. Your numbers are 6, 13, 26, 34, 35, 38, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): The work you do on your own and for your benefit will bring you the rewards you are looking for. An appointment to improve your looks or a shopping spree will get you out of a funk and back to your confident self. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can move forward but not before you get approval from the people in your life affected by your decisions. Listening to what other people are offering will give you an idea what’s missing and how you can make what you have to offer superior. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Let everyone do his or her own thing and get on with your own business. Expect to face a do-or-die situation at home with regard to an emotional issue involving time, money and a broken promise. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Added responsibilities at home will cause uncertainty initially but, in time, will lead to the long overdue alterations you need to make in order to be happy. An old relationship will bring back memories but shouldn’t influence a pressing decision. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do your best to help others, finish what you start or resolve an issue that you left dangling. The more you address, the more you will be able to focus on the things you want to put emphasis on in the future. Hard work will pay off.

best but do not deviate from the plans you have already made. Work done to your home will be costly and not to your satisfaction, unless you do the work yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your intelligence, coupled with your ability to turn a negative into a positive, will help you get your way. Someone you feel responsible for has a hidden agenda. Look out for your own interests first, then you can offer help to others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Taking action will surprise the people you are trying to outsmart. Revenge cannot be your motivation but truly wanting to get ahead can. Justice and fair play must rule your world. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Difficult situations will arise. The outcome will be out of your hands. Proceed with caution and protect your emotional, mental and physical well-being. Stick close to home and you will avoid some of the problems. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Get an insider’s view of what is actually happening contractually, financially or legally to a deal or company you are affiliated with. Sign up to learn something new or update a skill. Don’t wait around for things to happen — initiate your own plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be sought after by someone who sees what you have to offer but, before you decide to join forces, make sure this person has something to offer in return. The more creative input you have, the easier it will be to get things done to your specifications. Discuss but don’t commit. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dissect recent circumstances before you make a decision. You will have regrets if you act in haste or disregard what’s happened. Right now, it’s probably best to give the benefit of a doubt.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I disagreed with your advice to the woman whose husband was upset about his wife going out for drinks with her male co-workers. (“Pulled in Two in Pennsylvania,” April 2). We have been happily married for many years, and neither she nor I feel comfortable with a female employee going for drinks with mostly males. Drinking can lower inhibitions. Many office affairs begin in similar situations. In addition, no one should be driving home after two or more drinks. Office parties or get-togethers should not be held at bars. Employers can be held responsible for a multitude of things that can happen after these socials. That woman’s husband may be too protective or controlling, but he is not out of line to be upset about the situation. — BOB IN LEWISVILLE, TEXAS DEAR BOB: Thank you for your comments. I told “Pulled in Two” that her husband appears to be insecure and can change only if he’s willing to own up to it. However, many readers felt differently -- distinctly differently. Read on: DEAR ABBY: As someone with a “jealous” husband, I beg to differ. There is a positive definition of jealousy -- rightly guarding what belongs to a person. This man may be guarding the relationship he has with his wife. He may sense some danger from her “friendly” and “happily married” co-workers that

she doesn’t see. Although they have been married 16 years, it seems his jealousy arose only after she took this job. I speak from experience as someone who didn’t realize I had boundary issues with men. I thought I was just being friendly, but my husband helped me understand where to draw the line. In doing so, I have seen how much he values our relationship and wants to protect it. I am a college graduate and have worked in my profession more than 25 years. I’m not a throwback to the days of male domination. I appreciate my husband’s concern and wisdom. “Pulled” needs to find a way to put her marriage ahead of having fun with her co-workers. Jobs come and go; a great marriage can last a lifetime. — JO ANN IN GEORGIA DEAR ABBY: Every company I have ever worked for invited em-

ployee spouses to attend almost all after-work social events. Only rarely, once or twice a year, may they have had an employee-only function. I suspect “Pulled in Two” enjoys the extra attention she is getting from her male co-workers. Otherwise, I bet she could invite her husband. — BEEN THERE IN AZTEC, N.M. DEAR ABBY: It does seem that the husband is insecure, but there may be another explanation. Some of the most jealous spouses I have witnessed were the ones who caroused the most. Obviously, since they cannot be trusted, they project that unwarranted lack of trust onto their mate. — ILENE IN CORPUS CHRISTI DEAR ABBY: Any time social drinking is a part of a “work” event, the opportunity for inappropriate behavior presents itself. Many marriages have been ruined because of a “mistake” or “I didn’t mean it to happen — it was the alcohol.” If “Pulled” wants to go out drinking with male associates rather than go home to her husband, she is taking the road that leads away from a strong marriage. I faced that crossroad many times throughout my life and have never once regretted telling the ladies I couldn’t join them because I already had a commitment at home. The result has been 30 years of wedded bliss with no “mistakes.” — JOHN IN THE SUNSHINE STATE

NY police dog finds parole violator 1st day on job

Mass. town can’t unload house near landfill

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — A new police dog has learned an old trick — tracking down a parole violator outside New York City on its first day on the job. Bloodhound Tank Tebow (TEE’-boh) is handled by Officer Curtis Hahne (hayn) in Newburgh, 60 miles north of New York. Tank was donated to police Monday and began his career with the officer Tuesday. Two hours later police were dispatched to an apartment complex on a tip the parole violator was there. But by the time police arrived the man had disappeared. Police say Tank followed the man’s scent into a commercial area, through woods, across streets and into another apartment complex several blocks away. They say the man surrendered without incident. Tank is certified by the National Police Bloodhound Association. He’ll also be used to find missing people.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts town has lowered the price of a home it’s trying to sell because there’s barely been a sniff of interest. The four-bedroom, 3,000-square-foot home on 2.4 acres of land is right next to Northampton’s landfill. When potential buyers find out about it, they back away. Northampton’s Board of Public Works bought the home as part of a legal settlement with the previous owners, who frequently complained about the landfill’s odor. The home went on the market about a year ago for nearly $479,000. When it didn’t sell, the price was lowered to $375,000. Board Chairman Terry Culhane said the price was slashed again to $290,000 last week.

Pittsburgh police: Store robber dropped all but $1 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police are searching for a butterfingered convenience store robber who got away with seven packs of cigarettes but dropped all but $1 of the money he stole. Police say the man robbed the Uni-Mart in the city’s Troy Hill section at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday. Police say the man wore a ski mask and ball cap and pointed a handgun at a clerk who gave him $66. A customer was in the store at the time, but nobody was hurt in the heist.

Conn. police: Parents gambled, left kids in car MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (AP) — Two Massachusetts parents have been accused of leaving a 1-year-old and a 10-year-old alone in a car as they gambled at a Connecticut casino. Connecticut state police say Edwine Louissaint of Dedham and David Augustin of Milton face charges including second-degree reckless endangerment. Police found the children Thursday after being called to a garage at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket. State police Lt. J. Paul Vance says video surveillance and gambling records showed Augustin and Louissaint were in the resort for more than an hour. Court officials say Augustin was ordered held on $40,000 bond Friday, while Louissaint was released on $25,000 bond. See answer, page 2A

Seek God’s will for your own life Q: I just got out of college, and I’m in a panic because I don’t have any idea what I want to do. Right now, I’m working in a restaurant, but I don’t want to do that the rest of my life. I admit I goofed off more than I should have but now it’s catching up with me. How can I decide? -- J.N. A: The real question you need to ask yourself is this: What does God want me to do with my life? God made you and knows all about you -- and He also knows what’s best for you. The most important thing you can do is turn to Him and ask Him to show you His will. What is His will for you? I don’t know the full answer -- but I do know part of it, for God’s will for you is the same as it is for everyone: That you would come to know Him by giving your life to Jesus Christ. We are separated from God because of our sins -- but by His death on the cross Jesus Christ made it possible for all our sins to be forgiven and cleansed. Don’t try to live without Him any longer, but by faith turn to Jesus and commit your life to Him. Then seek His will for your life. He may not reveal the whole road to you right now -- but all you really need to know is the next step. Make His will a matter of prayer... assess your abilities and interests... and then trust Him to open the right door and lead you. The Bible says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it’” (Isaiah 30:21).
